Notice of Proposed Rule Making – NPRM 0704OS

Recreational Aviation Administration Organisations - Proposed Part 149 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (CASR)

Proposed CASR Part 149 is part of a suite of Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (CASR) Parts that address the administration and operation of various recreational aviation activities. By the very nature of sport and recreational aviation, many of the rules that are applicable to larger aircraft are not relevant to this sector.

Key proposed changes

Provide a formalised rule set to regulate the relationship between RAAOs and CASA whereby sport and recreational aviation activities will be devolved to be administered by approved organisations to the maximum possible extent.
Provide for recognition under Part 149 of existing and future sport and recreational aviation self administering bodies.
To formally empower RAAO procedures manuals (however named) as the approved standards for the conduct of recreational aviation activities. Key Proposed Changes
In line with policy approved by the Minister, sport and recreational aviation activities will be administered by approved organisations to the maximum possible extent.
